 Our Chaparral "Acronyms of GCC" contest had two winners and three runners-up!  But almost everyone missed the acronym "BS"—we wanted pure GCC, so it means "Biological Sciences."  Instead we got BS—as in, Bachelor of Science. 

 

Winners
(based on being first to submit almost-perfect answers)

Jolie Morris, from Counseling

Natalie Landivar, from PBX

Each winner gets a $15 discount coupon to Macy's Eagle Rock!! Congratulations!

Runners-Up included Michael Harnett from English and Kelly Crowe from the Library.  Plus one "anonymous" winner who did a great job but prefers not to be mentioned in Chaparral (hmmmmm).

Thanks for your participation in our Acronyms of GCC contest!
